I would have been okay either way but this is probably for the best. Now Shoeless Joe? I think he should have his ban lifted.
...Rose has shown no sign of changing...hell, the dumbass even admitted to Manfred that he still bets on sports, which I'm sure did not help his case.
How about putting him in for what he did on the field? He was a HOFer before becoming a manager. I don't care that he's still a screw up. Regardless, fine either way but I think it's criminal for a guy like Schilling to get a real shot while guys like Rose and the new crop of PED guys (Bonds, Clemens) not getting a look.
...Bernie Madoff was probably legit at one time too. ...Rose committed the one cardinal sin of Baseball...and it should not matter what he did before that. The HOF is based on the whole of a career, not just what some consider the best part. ...Rose had not only continue to lie about what and when he did, he doesn't even think he did anything wrong...fuck him. He gets into the HOF only posthumously...that should be his ultimate penalty.
With all due respect Bern you can't reward people for screwing up. First it was all those years of denying what he did & then when he did come clean it was only in part. Yes the guy had an amazing career as a player & part of me agrees that he should be recognized for that & he probably would have been if he just came COMPLETELY clean when he had the chance. As far as Schilling IMO I don't think his numbers warrant the HOF.
...no to Schilling...no to Bonds, no to Clemens, no to Mac, Sosa, and to the rest of the lying roiders.
...if the people in Cincy want to immortalize Rose regardless of his transgressions, fine...but the HOF should be a hallowed place and a different matter.
Classic case of one "ah shit" over riding the atta boys. Sorry Pete sympathy is between shit and syphilis in the dictionary!
Amen.............on the Rose ruling. The guy has no remorse and neither should baseball! As for Ortiz.......the less said about this phony, the better.
Rose's continued gambling, is the last nail in His coffin, and I don't expect to hear from Pete again, I hope not...... I don't expect Schilling to even get more than 35% of votes, and who in the hell is this Ortiz guy, I've never heard of him, or are ya'll talking about the Hunchback Shrek Steroid Monster, who's always innocent, and its always someone else's fk up, .......... damned can't those lab phlebotomist get it right yet.....? Edgar Martinez has one giant plus in his camp, that Ortiz never will, its called "Pure-Class".......
The pathetic look of an alcoholic, puffy face, can't smile........... Pete, Alcoholics Anonymous isn't calling your name, they're screaming it........ After Trump's comment on Rose,..... I can't ever take a thing Trump says serious going forward.......2 assclowns, Rose and Trump....
